During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Qatar, a Shariah Law Middle Eastern kingdom that is one of the state sponsors of Hamas, gets an Air Force base in… Idaho.

(#Idaho is in America.)

Republicans whined for decades that Dems wanted Sharia Law in the U.S. but Trump actually delivered it in less than 9 months.

It’s only been a few months since Trump accepted a luxury jet from Qatar.

He said it was “just a gift”.

Today Hegseth announced that Qatar would be building a base on American soil.

To be clear that’s not a gift, that’s a bribe.

Well… it’s out in the open.

Qatar gave Trump a jet plane, bought millions in Trump crypto, and approved Trump real estate developments in Qatar.

And Qatar bought millions in Trump crypto. And, as you may recall, also gave him a jet.

“Democrats want Sharia Law!!” screeched the Republicans for a decade!

Less than 1 year into the Reign of Trump he has handed a Sharia Law Nation an Air Force Base… in America.

In Idaho.
